How often does the unit need to be emptied?
21898
When running the dehumidifier The unit needs to be emptied at the end of each day. It shuts itself off when its over full. And it is a pain in the rear to empty it because the drain is so close to the floor you can not fit a very tall pan under it and the unit is too heavy to lift to empty. It's not a real good design as far as this aspect of it goes.

I don't know. I purchased a 'used' unit and when it arrived, the person who returned it wrapped it in nothing. The unit wobbled in the box, so when I received it I didn't open it for a few weeks. Should have sent it back. It didn't work and all of the parts were broken. And, I missed the return deadline. So I had to purchase a Kenmore which works great! I use it in 80 degrees plus and all last summer didn't have to empty it. Good luck! If you can, buy new.

Approx. every six to eight months, running it 8 hours a day in my bedroom. I live in the southwest, in a dry dusty environment, so it would probably last longer under less severe conditions. Also, I must clean the pre-filter at least once a week.

I do not empty mine. I use it almost every day and I don't remember for sure but believe that the instructions that come with it says to not leave it unused for 7 days. I am not real sure but they do make a suggestion.

I use mine about 3-4 times a week, this is my second container and I never had a problem with the pump. I also finish mine before the shelf life.

Every 3 or 4 months. In between I take the head off and clean everything. Stuff gathers inside.

I don't know. I do not have that problem but I empty the tank quite often. Even though I live in a pretty dry climate I still drain the tank every couple weeks.

I use 20-30 mins depending on how many cases are in the cleaner. The dirtier the cases, the more time. Don't over load the amount of recommended cleaner fluid, it is only wasting the fluid. Don't leave brass in unit for more than 4 hours as it will start corroding.

I just purchased this unit about 2 months ago and I haven't had to empty it once! I opened it up last night to check again and not 1 drop. I leave it on 67 almost all day long! Some runs have been over 24 hours and not a drop. I live in southern California and I have a friend with this unit in Arizona and he said he has to empty his about once a month so it probably depends on the humidity.

just remove the top fan section and refill the holding tank daily. Empty and clean the holding tank weekly.

we empty ours once a month. we wash 4 loads a week theres only 2 of us so you'll have to gage your loads but even at that rate weve never had it filled up. we could go 3 months but has water in it and we don't want it to start stinking.

I've rarely needed to empty the water. But this is ultimately going to depend on how much you use the unit...

Around 3 months ... depending on the level of dirt. When I first got Neato, I had to change filters about every week or so, but now that it's keeping carpets much cleaner for me, it's about every 3 months.

It recommends every 3 months but I vacuum mine out once a week. I have 3 cats. so I can usually get away with every 4-5 months before having to change it. It runs 24/7.

It seems to depend on the frequency of use. I use the machine twice a day and I have cleaned 4 times since purchase of machine last August, 2013

Every 50 gallons of use. Or approximately 6 months. After 6 months I take the cartridge out and drain the water from it and shake it. If there is power in there your good, if not replace it.

There is no need to clean the unit after every use if you do not choose to, though I would reccomend cleaning intermittently to maintain cleanliness and maintaining the unit. I am not clear on why some find it so difficult as I have no issues cleaning mine.

If you mean totally clean it out, I would say it depends on your water. I clean my every month and rinse my filter once a week. (At least I TRY to clean the filter once a week.)
